Defamer Australia BFF and Mix 106.5FM breakfast host Sonia Kruger is not a happy camper, and when The Kruges is grumpy, we're grumpy.

MIX FM's breakfast could turn scrambled today, after it emerged star recruit Sonia Kruger has threatened to walk unless the program's executive producer is reinstated from suspension.

Kruger was in Los Angeles on assignment for Channel 7 last week when her MIX colleague Brenden Wood was sent packing by management over a stunt which sledged Nine newsreader Mark Ferguson.

Confidential understands the decision to shelve Wood, after Channel 9 pulled $1 million worth of advertising, left Kruger to champion her workmate's cause from Tinseltown. Adding to her stressful work schedule, the Mix maven is believed to have written to her Australian Radio Network boss Bob Longwell over the knee-jerk reaction.

SHE DOES NOT NEED ANYMORE STRESS IN HER LIFE. God, she couldn't even accept a Logie without Daryl Somers jumping in front of the mic and hogging the limelight. Not. Good. Enough. Someone arrange a massage and some chocolates for Sonia, and assure the woman her beloved producer is on his way back to the studios.

"It's not for Sonia to tell management what to do but she has found Brenden to be a terrific producer and doesn't want this to affect the team's success," (Kruger's manager) Klemens said. "She's been very supportive of him as a colleague and a friend. The discussions we've had with management have been open and frank about that." Wood, who declined to comment yesterday, was benched "indefinitely" last Wednesday and has not returned to the station's North Ryde studios since.

Defamer Australia strongly supports anything Sonia wants.
